Libreoffice Issue with Cinnamon

Hello guys, i have problem with Libreoffice with Cinnamon DE. In cinnamon, Libreoffice will crash when i open menubar. Not always crash, but when crash i must clear libreoffice cache then i can use it again without any problem. This just happen with libreoffice, other apps works well.

I've never had a problem with using libreoffice on my laptop (AMD APU with fglrx) or my new build (AMD FX with nVidia 660 Ti).

Have you tried starting it in terminal to see why it crashes?

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but have a skim through https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=206869

Have you set anything in the libreoffice files within /etc/profile.d (perhaps you should if you haven't) and make sure you have gtk2 installed.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried to run libreoffice through the terminal. However, there is not any error message when the problem occurred.

Re: Libreoffice Issue with Cinnamon

This probably not same thing. I installed catdoc for some other reason that I don't recall now and though there are no conflicts listed in catdoc, it would launch and segfault whenever a docx hyperlink in a document was ctrl-clicked instead of opening the docx link. Turned out that catdoc can't open docx, but I'm not sure why catdoc would launch from an open document in Libreoffice. If the hyperlink was to a doc, the hyperlinked doc would open without issue, but not a docx. Removing catdoc solved the docx hyperlink problem for me. Also when try to open a docx from Thunar, instead of launching LibreOffice, catdoc would launch and segfault. All the segfaults showed up in dmesg.
